I am a really bad decision maker. I get so anxious about it which is bad seeing as how often in life we have to make decisions. In my last post I was talking about how much I angsted about making the decision to go to Israel. This week I am angsting about my work. On Monday I had an interview with the women’s shelter and the tomorrow I have an interview for a literacy teaching job with STEPS. I found out on Thursday about these and and I cannot make a decision about what I want to do. I know I don’t have the jobs yet but preliminary discussions were overwhelmingly positive so I thought I better make a decision in case I do get offered both. They are both part time and fit really well for me. Truth is I think I would rather take the shelter job. I am so not feeling like teaching right now after the previous six months I am feeling a bit burnt by teaching literacy in this context. On the other hand this is a much nicer job than the last one and I have this sense maybe I shouldn’t just stop teaching after this one crappy experience. Of course I could go back at another stage but it does get harder. I have been praying lots, reading things to give me guidance and talking to wise people but every moment I feel something different. I am going with just see what doors open and close but thus far all doors just keep opening. What would you do if you were me?
Give yourself a deadline and if after all the above you still don’t know, pray, toss a coin and then just trust.
I don’t know Mil. I can see that is a really difficult decision. I have been really inspired by some of my Hebrew teachers here. Watching them work has been really interesting. They have flow. I’m not sure I could do what they do. Do you have flow?
